It's good enough to be the "Smash Bros." of the DS, so if there's a core group of fight-game buddies around, it's definitely worth getting. [JPN Import]

Jump Superstars has so much more to it than just fighting. It’s got a unique set-up system with koma deck building and an entire world to adventure through. If there was a must pick up game for the Nintendo DS this is it. [JPN Import]

So if you like the gameplay you’ll have a ton of replay value here. The problem is that this replay value feels and is extremely reliant on repetition. Many of the missions are nearly identical and all the battles are very similar. [JPN Import]

While portable fighters haven’t had the best of luck in the past, the combination of a simple, yet solid game play engine and scores of popular and recognizable characters (if you deal with anything Japanese on a semi-regular basis, you’ll know at least a dozen characters) make Jump Superstars easily the best portable fighter out there.

However, the sheer ambition of this game is considerable. Over 150 characters make their presence known on the battlefield, offering different moves and combat styles for the prospective fighting game fan. [JPN Import]

It's hard to envision a handheld fighting game being much better than Jump Superstars. There's tons of content, plenty of depth, and it's also pretty funny. [JPN Import]

Behind the intimidating menu screens lies a truly magnificent beat-'em-up. Jump Superstars is fast, fluid, clearly presented and offers as much depth and challenge as you could want from a fighting game. [NGC Pocket]

Indeed, what ultimately holds the game back is its conservatism: a deep-seated desire to play it safe, whether it’s in terms of graphics, sound, design, or fighting system. [JPN Import]

The game system is actually quite brilliant, but there's no denying the conspicuous rough edges. [Dec 2005, p.88]
